Committee plans October candidates night and boosts election outreach
Summary
Committee members said multiple residents filed to run for board seats and agreed to publicize candidates and hold a candidates night in October to let voters hear platforms before the Nov. 3 election.
Committee members reported a surge in candidate applications: several residents filed for board seats, including multiple candidates for four‑year and two‑year terms. Members agreed to repost application information on the website and Facebook to keep the election visible to the community.
"I still have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 people who are running for the 4 year seat and 2 people running for the 2 year seat," staff said when summarizing the candidate count. The committee discussed a candidate's night in October as a way to let all candidates give a brief statement and for residents who cannot attend to read prepared statements on the website and Facebook.
The group discussed logistics: a single‑evening panel with prewritten questions and short time limits for each candidate, or individual meetings; members favored a panel format to keep the event concise. Staff will coordinate a date (suggested first week of October) and prepare a plan to present at the September communications meeting.
